Video of Sarah's Car Crash

For the last week or so, I have found myself craving more information on that night. I wondered what the car looked like before the crash and morbidly I wondered what it looked like after the crash too. I kept telling myself to dismiss those thoughts but I kept thinking that if she had to go through it, the least I could do is bring myself to look at it.

Images of what her last moments must have been like constantly flash through my mind every time I blink for too long or when I am lying in bed at night before I fall asleep. Now at least I know for myself what really happened.

It's not enough to say that I miss her every day. It's the holiday season and I find myself looking forward to seeing her again at Christmas and thinking about what I might get her for a gift. The last time we saw eachother was on Christmas last year and I just can't seem to make myself want to celebrate it this year. Like somehow if it's been less than a year since I've seen her she's not so far away. But if I actually go to my grandma's house for Christmas like we did last year, and sit there where we sat together last year, it somehow makes it all real and permanent.

I really worry for my mom. She's taking it real hard. Life has not been good to her in a lot of ways and she's not treating herself very well recently. It's hard for me to talk to her because the conversation always turns to Sarah and then I have to face that she's gone.

When my dad died I was devestated but for some reason Sarah's death is affecting me much more. I'm not sure why but I think it has to do with the fact that my dad was old and so he was going to die during my lifetime anyway but Sarah should have gone to MY funeral 50 years from now, not the other way around.

I am so sorry Jenn. I wish there were words that could ease your pain, even in some small way. But I know there are none. I miss you and I love you.

Little Reminders

Every day when I look at Tyler I see parts of Sarah. You can't sit there and tell me these pictures of Sarah don't remind you of certain faces Tyler makes! I hope he always reminds me of her.

Brandt Gibson in a Nutshell

The Amazing Kell Bjorn decided to start keeping track of everything Brandt Gibson said. Here are a select few: “I’m a horse of a different color!” “No Pain…No Pain.” “Nobody corrals me!” “Die!” “But on the other hand, you have different fingers.” “I’m not stressed, I’m not stressed; if you tell me I’m stressed…I’ll kill you.” “I parked around back in the shade, so it doesn’t get 65,000 degrees in my car.” “Yeah, things you don’t want to hear from your bank…‘Oops’.” "You've been tasered!" "Click-click-a-click...booyah!" “Blame it on Kell, it’s all his fault…It was either Kell or Canada and you’re closer.” “Girls just want to have Lu-unch…” “I have been Dudded.” (After receiving some Milk Duds) “Get out of my Chaaiirrr.” (Said with a low raspy evil voice) “Gloria’s here…ruuunnn!” “That is highly possible…just not probable.” “Gift of tongues Kell, enjoy it.” “Revenge is a dish that is best served cold.” “Don't you think? Please use this well. Marriage becomes...

Tyler

We had to sneak in to take this during nap time last week. Any resemblance? He loves to sit in his "big boy" chair. Fourth of July BBQ (on the 3rd of July) in 60 degree windy weather (which is why he has a sweatshirt on).
